Hello and welcome to Broward County. It is an honor to host the Florida Association of Public Art Professionals Conference.

Broward County first established our Public Art & Design Program in 1976 and since then we’ve come a long way! The public art program received a financial boost in 1995 when the allocation of funds from county construction projects increased to two percent. The overall vision was to enhance architecture and urban spaces through the ideas and creations of visual artists. Today, we administer an average of 80 art projects annually, including conservation projects. Broward residents own over 260 public artworks. We call it “a museum without walls.”

Broward County’s Public Art & Design Program is an internationally-recognized, world class program, and listed among an ensemble of the world’s finest public art, according to Australia’s Images Publishing in Designing the World’s Best Public Art. Just recently, the suspended work of art entitled “Wavelength” at the Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport was recognized by Americans for the Arts as a 2017 outstanding public art project through the Public Art Network Year in Review program. The program is the only national program that specifically recognizes the most compelling public art.

We are proud of our diverse cultural heritage and public art can be seen in all county buildings, at every Broward County park, at the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, at Port Everglades and in each of our thirty-one cities and throughout the Municipal Services District. Along with exploring public art locations, make sure you find time to experience all that Broward County has to offer. From our twenty-three miles of award-winning beaches to the vast Everglades National Park there is plenty to see and do! Thank you for choosing Broward County and please come back and visit soon! Sincerely,

Mark BogenBroward County Mayor
